You will spend a lot of money, go through a lot of stress, and surrender your decision making to an authority who could decide against you. Many who have "won" a court battle report that the experience drained them emotionally and financially, and that they wouldn't do it again.

Courts treat pets as property. I regard them as equal parties.

The legal system really does not care about your feelings;

much less your pet's. I do.

I facilitate a non-adversarial problem solving process designed to produce

"win-win" solutions that address the needs of everyone-- especially the pet(s).

Cost:

$500 per hour. Immediately drops down to $250 when both parties start working collaboratively on creating a mutually acceptable specific plan to share in their animal's life.
